Tegan Nox made her WWE return on the Dec. 2 episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
Nox returned to help Liv Morgan combat Damage CTRL. The trio that includes the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions (Dakota Kai & IYO SKY) made the trip to SmackDown to call out the division. They rehashed WarGames and stated no one on SmackDown even participated.
Morgan’s music hits and she answers Bayley and the tag champs’ claims. She says it appears that they have a problem with the SmackDown women’s locker room. Morgan states that on behalf of the women’s locker room she would handle this. Showing no signs of worry, Morgan counted the three against one odds and said it sounded fair to her as she raced to the ring.
The numbers games started to get too much for Morgan which is when Nox’s music hit. Nox raced to the ring and started to battle with Damage CTRL as commentary refers to her past with Kai. With Morgan already down, it became three on one this time against Nox.
Morgan brought in a kendo stick to even the odds some as she takes out all three members of Damage CTRL, breaking the stick on Bayley. Nox delivers the Shiniest Wizard on Bayley causing the faction to retreat.
Nox has not wrestled elsewhere during her time away from WWE. She was released in November 2021. She was formerly in a tag team with Shotzi on SmackDown before the draft broke up the team and sent her to Raw where she would never make her debut before being released.
Check back in with Diva Dirt for more news and results from the women of SmackDown.

After embracing the WWE Universe, Lynch made her way out into the crowd and started incorporating them into her promo confirming that she is the man of the people. Shortly after, Bayley came out to address her. While Lynch was still in the crowd, Bayley and The Man exchange words back and forth getting the crowd members involved.
This takes place until the rest of Damage CTRL (IYO SKY and Dakota Kai) attack Lynch. As Bayley joins, the three-on-one assault escalates up to the merch stand until all parties involved are pulled apart by officials.
Directly after this, a small video of Rhea Ripley is played before she comes out to face “Michin” Mia Yim. The two rivals who participated in WarGames just 48 hours ago were putting on a stellar match until Judgment Day and The OC got involved which caused a no-contest finish. This then turned into the four-on-four tag team match that was highly anticipated between both factions.
Much like Yim vs. Ripley, this match was also very well received and it included the women even briefly interacting with the men instead of acknowledging mixed tag team rules. The result would come down to Yim and Ripley (as it should) with Ripley picking up the win for Judgment Day off of Riptide. This was after Yim bodyslammed Finn Balor and then targeted Dominik Mysterio.
Moments later, a video was shown about Candice LeRae and how she was taken out a month ago by Damage CTRL. She is back and was walking down a hallway backstage. She was stopped for an interview where she addressed Dakota Kai in particular because she had a match with her later in the night. While LeRae was walking down the hallway, Nikki Cross was hiding as we saw her peek out to take a glance at LeRae.
As stated, LeRae and Kai have a match later in the night. The match was given plenty of time and showcased both women very well. LeRae started the match quickly by attacking Kai when she was making her entrance. Bayley and SKY would attempt to come down to the ring to help but were sent to the back so there was nobody out at ringside. Despite Kai pulling out many moves in her arsenal including the scorpion kick, she wasn’t able to get the victory. LeRae defeated one-half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions with a top rope neck breaker.
Finally, three women from WarGames we hadn’t seen yet were Asuka, Alexa Bliss, and the Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair. Commentary stated that due to the WarGames match, the three women weren’t cleared to compete. They also said despite Bayley and SKY being involved in the brawl earlier in the night, they were also not cleared to compete on Raw. SKY had on a neck brace during the brawl.
There was a backstage interview with Asuka, Bliss, and Belair where they were commenting on WarGames and including Becky Lynch as the final member paying off for their team. Belair stated that every plan Damage CTRL had backfired since SummerSlam. She also would say she is happy to put all of that behind her. Before they began to speak, the Wyatt 6 symbol appeared on the screen behind them. Bliss was checked out during the interview and not engaged. After Asuka spoke, Cathy Kelley asked Bliss if she had anything to add. After clearly being zoned out during the interview, Bliss woke up and said she agreed with what Belair had to say.
WarGames may be in the past, but what will happen for the fall out tonight when the dust settles? Team Bianca Belair won WarGames as they defeated Team Damage CTRL. Where will this leave all 10 participants as we head into the last month of the year and start 2023 heading towards the Royal Rumble … Read more
